Running low on Dropbox space, just need to view shared folder item on iOS

Nope the X takes me back to the menu and ^ shows me the terms and conditions ……..sighhhhh

Hi AbbyGail Yap ,

Sorry to hear that didn't pan out.

Have you tried asking them to send you a link to the content, so you won't get that screen in the first place? 

I'm using an Apple phone and my Dropbox storage is nearly full. I just want to view a shared folder, but clicking the file prompts me to join a plan for more storage. On the iPad, I can bypass this and simply 'view.' How can I achieve the same on my phone?

Hi johnysins,

Thanks for reaching out!

Seems you're running into exactly the same scenario here.

Ask the sender to create a view only link for you.

A link should be viewable on any platform (it won't depend on you using a tablet rather than a phone), rather than a shared folder invite.

Have you tried viewing from a web browser (i.e. Safari, Chrome or Firefox) on your mobile phone?

You can "Request Desktop Website" in most mobile web browsers when pages aren't displaying the same options like on larger screens.

Keep me posted!

I have the same issue but no answers…it’s not the link cos like they all say, it should work on all devices…..plus I have been accessing on both iPad and iPhone all these while until recently.  

Probably need a die-hard Apple phone user to help us.
